Modifiers -58, -78, and -79

Billing for surgical services may involve special modifiers. Three of the most important ones are: -58, -78, -79. When should they be used? What are the effects on my reimbursement if I do use one of these modifiers? The proper use and documentation of these surgical modifiers applying to “major” procedures is covered in this 9 minute eLearning program. Review questions are presented and discussed at the conclusion of the course.
